That Gráinne Murphy never got to really be or have the present is something of a sporting and personal tragedy that only she and her family and inner circle will truly know and feel.
But it is a story and lesson that needs to resonate further, because the retirement of 22 of such a talent must also be seen as a failure of sorts by Irish sport – and Sports Ireland – and especially her own sport’s national governing body.

Australian man tosses pet snake during public swim
Visitors at an Australian creek witnessed a man tossing a snake back and watching it slither back as the two went for a swim.
Musician Indy Davies of Brisbane shared video of the man and his pet carpet python to Instagram, as he repeatedly tossed the snake while drinking a beer at Tallebudgera Beach in Queensland.
“There’s currently a bloke down here drinking a VB tally and chucking his pet snake around. Amazing,” he wrote.
Screams can be heard on the video as Davies told the Brisbane Times that many parents and other beachgoers evacuated the area after witnessing the man’s strange behavior.
“Everyone split from the beach, kids were screaming, lots of parents screaming ‘Get out of the water! He has a snake!’” He said.
